Awkward Period between School and Work
Monkeys,
Due to graduating early (at the end of the current semester), I will have ~ 6/7 months to kill before work starts. I've heard the usual travel suggestions and want to do so, especially to avoid staying at my parents house for a substantial amount of time. However, I feel as if I would be interested in working abroad in this time period, and was wondering if y'all had any suggestions on how to pick up a gig at a fund or bank internationally for a few months (like Feb-May). I decided to graduate early to save my parents some money and all, so they would most likely be able to float me on some leisure travel expenses in this time period, yet I feel as if I would get bored if I was unable to secure some sort of role that could give me some life perspectives and all.
In addition, any particular insights on places to visit/things to do would be sweet. Any bucket list things like a track day at the nurburgring?
Please shoot me your ideas.
After graduation (semester early, same boat as you) I went to backpack South America.
You're going to be working in finance full time starting this summer...why do you want to do more of that before it even begins?
There are programs for foreigners to work at Hostels around the world for however many weeks you want to. You get free housing from it. Most interesting people I met were at Hostels.
True that...guess I just feel weird taking a few months off to do nothing as its the first time I would of done so in years. I will look into that though and have heard similar from others.
If you decide to travel for a bit, even a few weeks, I recommend to go hiking in patagonia, Torres del Paine (chile), El Chalten (argentina), barriloche (argentina) or make your way further south into tierra del fuego.
Our winter is their summer, so February is a great time to go.
Track day at the Nurburgring would be amazing. Also, there's a program that allows you to ride shotgun in a MiG-29 to the edge of space (to the altitude where you can see the curvature of the Earth) in Russia with a trained fighter pilot. Maybe go down to Chile to Patagonia/Andes.
A lot of people I know went to Western Europe after graduation. That's cool and all, but if I'm spending that kind of money and time, it's too close to "normal" for me.
Then again, I'm not really a bucket list/travel the world kind of person. I'd rather drive fast cars locally, go to the range, read a book, etc.
